Almost all new aero frames have fully integrated cables.Because of that stem spacers are more massive then before and bike can look quite good with almost 25-30mm spacers.
With this adjustment you can compensate smaller stack.
No bike looks good with 30mm spacers. Maybe slightly less bad. Lol

This is why I love the WW site - true quipment geeks that know of more models than I do :lol: Before starting this thread none of these bikes were on my radar:

Ridley Fenix
Orbea Orca OMX
Willier cento10NDR
Look 795 Blade RS

I had considered the Basso Diamante SV but the weight and -11deg stem killed the idea. The Look 795 Blade RS disc and Orbea Orca OMX both have my attention but all things considered, for my needs, the Dogma F is probably better than any of these bikes (fit, weight, aero) so it only loses out on cost and my dislike of the styling - my favourite looker from this group being the Basso.

Please keep the long leg / short torso aero bike suggestions coming!

Yes those specs look decent. One curveball for comparing Reach on these aero bikes with one-piece bar/stem combos is the reach of the bars can differ up to +/- 10mm.

Can't run a different bar on the Basso? Surely there are compatible options if that is your favorite frame.

Different integrated bars will work and lop off a good amount of grams

Can you suggest a couple of carbon integrated aero bar/stem units that would fit correctly on the Basso ? The frameset is really nice but the Basso stem and bar is a deal-breaker for me. I would like a combo that is at least 50g lighter with no more than -9deg angle.

The madone has a two piece bar and stem so it's much easier to work with. Even the stem has two different stem angles.

Whats the deal with the 59.5 Dogma having slightly less reach than one size smaller?
F12 had this too

Their own integrated bar / stem, the Integra, is 400g and 8 degrees. Should save up to 100g I guess.

I've recently bought an Astra, which again has a tall stack, so have been looking at options.

They also do a 0 degree version of their standard stem.
